Buck Owens born Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr., born August 12, 1929 and celebrated tonight on Bakersfield & Beyond. Because KWMR streams its music over the internet, there are some rules placed on the station about how many songs by any one artist we can play in any given two hour period. In particular, we can’t play any more than 4 songs by any artist, not more than 3 from any one album, and not more than 3 in a row. That might be a tough one to follow if one is trying to put together a 2 hour tribute show to Buck Owens. However, there are so many musicians who have covered Buck Owens’ songs, so many musicians who performed or wrote songs that Buck would go on to popularize, and then you discover that 2 hours is simply not enough time to honor the man. Check out the playlist and see for yourself the range of artists who have been under the influence of Buck.
